“This strategic update not only enhances our clients’ competitive edge but also augments their capacity to cater to the evolving demands of their clientele, attract new business, and elevate their service standards by leveraging our liquidity solutions.”

B2Broker has raised leverage on major FOREX pairs to 1:200, and 1:50 for BTC/USD and ETH/USD pairs, the prime of prime liquidity provider announced.

B2Broker’s liquidity solutions currently cover over 1500 instruments across eight asset classes, including FOREX, Crypto CFD, Spot Indices, Precious Metals, Single Stocks, ETFs, Commodities, and NDFs CFD.

Margin requirements loweered on FX pairs, BTCUSD, and ETHUSD

The move, aimed at addressing client requests, will see leverage upped to 1:200 for major FX pairs, thereby reducing the margin requirements from 1% to 0.5%. The company also increased leverage up to 1:50 for BTCUSD and ETHUSD, reducing margin requirements from 10% to 2%.

With the increased leverage on highly demanded trading pairs in key markets such as FX and Crypto, the company empowers brokers to give their traders greater flexibility in managing their capital, significantly broadening the client’s appeal to a larger user base.

John Murillo, Chief Dealing Officer of B2Broker, said: “This strategic update not only enhances our clients’ competitive edge but also augments their capacity to cater to the evolving demands of their clientele, attract new business, and elevate their service standards by leveraging our liquidity solutions.

“Thanks to our robust balance sheet and extensive client base, coupled with our impressive trading volumes, we stand at the forefront of the market. Our innovative mindset has been evident throughout our journey. We were the first to introduce crypto CFDs based on spot and, later, on perpetual futures. In addition to FOREX, today, we proudly offer over 150 crypto CFD pairs, a testament to our commitment to innovation and meeting the diverse needs of our clients.”

B2Broker sources deep liquidity pools from Tier-1 providers and its infrastructure facilitates the distribution and aggregation of liquidity through various channels, enhancing trade execution and reducing risk.

Last year, the company introduced NDFs as a new asset class in the form of CFDs, with the advantage of next-day settlements. B2Broker was a pioneer in the crypto market by introducing crypto CFDs based on spot and then perpetual futures LPs.

Earlier this month, B2Broker upgraded B2Core, the firm’s Forex CRM, client’s cabinet, and back office software for forex brokerages and cryptocurrency exchanges. The V2.1 upgrade delivers on the highly anticipated savings feature, introducing a new trading platform and PSP integrations, and drastically improving the user experience on the platform. Additionally, B2Core intends to offer flexible interest rates for the savings plans.
